IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP-sTovEs.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 176,656, dated April 25, 1876 application filed April 1,1876.

To all 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, yTHOMAS S. MARsHALL, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Heating and Cooking Apparatus and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,vclear, and exact description of the construction and operation ot' the same, reference `being had to the annexed drawings, making apart of this specitication, and to the letters and figures of refer ence marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a vertical central section of my apparatus.

The object of my invention is to utilize the VAheat of the common. kerosene-lamp for cooking and heating purposes; and to this end the vnature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a hot-air-draft chamber .having aninterior hoop for distrib uting and retaining the heat, with a central adjustable and perforated metallic tube for regulating the draft, as will be hereinafter,

more fully set forth.

In the annexed drawing, A represents a lmnp-"reservoir, with Argand burner B and glais chimney C.

the .sides of the reservoir A are attached upright rods, D, which support the hot-airdraft chamber hereinafter described.

E is a perforated metallic tube snrroundin the chimney G of the lamp, and surmounted by the hot-air-draft chamber G. This chamber is about six inches in diameter, open at To ears projecting fromthe top like a basin, with an opening in the center of the bottom, through which the metallic tube E4 can be passed freely up and down. 0n the inside of the chamber or basin ,G is a hoop, H, passing around the inside thereof asuitable distance from it, and atrifle narrower than the depth of the chamber.l

This hoop is for the purpose of distributing and retaining the heat. The chamber G is perforated at the bottom so'as to obtain sufficient draft when closed or covered at thetop.

I isa slotted plate placed on top of the chamber when used for heating alone. By adjusting the perforated tube E the draft is easily regulated so as to secure a greater amount of light than would otherwise be possible.

By this invention it will thus be seen that I utilize the heat from the lamp for heating or cooking purposes without impairing the lighting qualities thereof.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-f The combination'of the elevated heatingchamber G, interior hoop H, and perforated adjustable center-tube E, all supported above a lamp by rodsv D, as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the above, I have j hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

THOMAS S. MARSHALL.
